Another fun stuff for body exercise is the trampoline, a tool of metal frame with stretched highly-flexible textile material on the horizontal plan. You might have seen it in the old time circus on which the joker or other performers jumped on and recoiled up high. With its flexibility you can bounce on it without any hard impact, thats why it has been used as an exercise equipment.
Like the children play, we can jump up and down repeatedly as long as we need unless we drop out of the frame. So it is important to remain your balance upon each bounce, no matter what figures or styles of your bounce, just keep it right in the center position. The severe impact may occur if you only lose your balance and fall out off the center, you can get hurt hitting the frame or broke some parts falling on the ground. Here are some figures suggested for your safe exercise with the trampoline.
Seat drop
Beyond the basic bounces on your feet , you may try other variations. Seat drop is another bouncing figure like you are sitting down to the floor. Start with standing straight in the middle of the trampoline , bounce up and drop your bottom down backward with your hands facing down behind to support your body. Both arms should be curling behind and aside your body for flexibility and balance. While landing, stretch both legs up to perform a V-shape with your bottom as the angle. This helps keeping the center of your body weight right on your bottom so you can easily control bouncing with only hands.
Knee drop
Knee drop is a simple move made by bouncing on your knees which should spread wide about your hip to keep stable. It is important to keep your upper body straight up in the right angle to stay in balance , otherwise your weight will be out of the center and that makes swaying rebound.
Hands and Knees Bounce
Simply like make a bow while sitting on your tucked legs, In this position you land down on your hands and knees with tucked legs and body. But only your hands are beside not in front of your knees with your upper body lean slightly forward to your knees. This helps keeping jumping in one movement . because there would be separated impact points if you place your hands too far in front. In that case, unbalance rebound may cause injury to your back.
Trampoline may seems easy and enjoyable to access ,but to get the real benefit of it safely , you need to perform the bounce correctly. You should pay a little more attention on practicing otherwise you have risk of injury by losing control of your body when recoiling awkwardly.
